The clubs want to end the tradition of soccer in open TV, the government is opposed by political interests and is now placed on the table the possible strike suspended by the league matches in Spain scheduled for this weekend. The lawsuit continues, despite the consequences that could be generated, and it appears that the government and the LFP will leave the decision up to a judge.
While most clubs first and second division of Spain want to reach an agreement before the head of the court of First Instance number 63, Madrid, Purification Puyol, make a decision on the strike that threatens to suspend Spanish football this weekend (2 and 3 April), the patronage of Professional Soccer League remains steadfast in its position to carry out the strike if it remains the obligation of a party permir by TV broadcasters.
The conflict is complicated and complex. It all began on February 11, the day of the Extraordinary Assembly of the League announced that most of the clubs (13 clubs) had the intention to strike and suspend the Spanish football Week 30 if there were no significant progress on the obligation to televise a game open.
The LFP believes that this drastic measure is the benefit of the clubs in the First and Second Division, and that, under the patronage of the League, these teams fail to receive around 150 million euros annually by the agreement. For its part, the Government could avoid a strike if it decided to amend the "Law of soccer" in 1997, prompting the issuance of an open game, not willing, nor to yield to the pressures of the league, does not arise privatize the football at the moment, mostly because nobody wants to be a politician or political party go down in history as responsible for ending the open soccer, let alone a few months of carrying out regional elections and municipal elections in Spain, which translates into an unpopular move could cost them the defeat in the coming electoral votes.
Following that conflict, six First Division clubs decided to rebel against the League and against their counterparts who are in favor of postponing the Week 30. Sevilla, Villarreal, Zaragoza, Athletic Bilbao, Espanyol and Real Sociedad, filed a lawsuit to annul the strike and asked the judge to take precautionary measures so that if there are parties on 2 and 3 April as discussed more detail the conflict.
These six teams argue that the strike is illegal because it alters the schedule, and to alter the timetable, the clubs would be hardest hit, as the League instead of ending in May, would end in June, just when you start the Copa America and the European U-21. The rebels, better known as the "G-6" are the only clubs that from the beginning did not sign the audiovisual contract, suggesting that the war goes beyond the prohibition of soccer in open and evidence of a strong confrontation between First Division clubs.
The conflict could become very serious. If finally there is a strike, the schedule would be modified, rather than the League concluded on 22 May, would end in June (because there are no available dates to take place later that day), just when you start Copa America (July 1) and the European Championship Under-21 (June 12), which would force clubs to indulge their American players (Messi, Alves, Marcelo, Higuain, Aguero, Forlan, Guardado, Dos Santos, among others) and its Spanish players (De Gea, Javi Martinez, Mata, Capel, to name a few) to their respective teams before the end of this championship.
In addition, the agreement guarantees football players a month's holiday, which many of them could not be with their clubs to play the qualifying round of the Champions League and Europe League in the next edition. That is, again lost the clubs. In short, the problem is that most teams agree that football is over-air, but are not willing to extend the tournament until June by the strike.
The government is willing to negotiate, but refuses to take drastic measures because it is election time. And the one who is determined that the strike is carried out is the patronage of the League, who is willing to go to the end so to corner the government until she relents and ends with open soccer.
It is regrettable that all interests are at stake, neither side can agree and prefer to be a judge that determines the course of history, especially because in the end, the biggest loser of all Spanish is the amateur sport of kicking. Purification judge Wednesday morning Puyol will announce its decision.
All indications, in terms of rationality, there will be no strike, the judge shall take precautionary measures and if they play the league matches this weekend. The terrible movie called "The interests of the League", which toured the world and showed the dark side of Spanish football will end in an embarrassing and absurd conflict with a happy ending.
We'll see.
